Promoting Research Opportunities Fully--Prospective Academics Transforming Health

项目摘要 少数族裔学生进入医学院似乎意在追求学术生涯 与白人相似的(拉丁裔)或仅略有减少的(非裔美国人)比例 同样，健康差距人口(HDP)学生的减少也表明了同样的意图 从医学院或实习医生毕业后。早期的经历似乎强烈地表明 影响职业选择，而早期的负面经历可能对 少数民族学生的学业生涯发展。关于少数群体和妇女的多项研究 学生们表示，通过适当的指导和培训，学术医学的道路是平坦的 有针对性的社会支持，以缓解持续的压力，克服共同的和特定于背景的 障碍。尽管加州大学旧金山分校是一家卓越的研究机构，而且 加州大学旧金山分校为学员提供了几个结构良好的研究计划和机会，但尚未 将其在招收HDP学生方面的突出成功转化为大量 HDP学生选择学术医学职业。我们建议使用R25(C) 创建创新教育研究计划的机制，PATH教授：促进 充分的研究机会--未来的学者转变健康。基于社交网络 认知职业生涯理论，PATH教授将为HDP创造新的研究培训机会 来自加州大学旧金山分校四所卫生专业学校的学生；增强现有课程的能力 在全力支持HDP学生走上学术职业道路方面；促进早期机会， 借鉴成功的研究经验，提高本土研究能力 教师有效地指导HDP健康专业学生的研究。这个雄心勃勃的人 该计划利用加州大学旧金山分校现有的财务、行政和课程资源。

Project Abstract Minority students appear to enter medical school with the intent of pursuing academic careers in similar (Latino) or only slightly reduced (African American) proportions as their white counterparts, yet fewer health disparities population (HDP) students indicate the same intent upon graduation from medical school or residency. Early experiences appear to strongly influence career choices, and early negative experiences may be particularly harmful to the academic career development of minority students. Multiple studies of minority and women students indicate that the academic medicine path is smoothed by appropriate mentoring and targeted social support to ease ongoing stress and overcome common and background-specific hurdles. Despite UCSF's stature as a preeminent research institution, and the existence of several well-structured research programs and opportunities for trainees, UCSF has not yet translated its outstanding success in the recruitment of HDP students into large numbers of HDP students selecting careers in academic medicine. We propose to use this R25 (c) mechanism to create an innovative education research program, PROF-PATH: Promoting Research Opportunities Fully--Prospective Academics Transforming Health. Based on social cognitive career theory, PROF-PATH will create new research training opportunities for HDP students from UCSF's four health professional schools; enhance the ability of existing programs in fully supporting HDP students in an academic career path; promote opportunities for early, entrance into successful research experiences, and increase the capacity of local research faculty to effectively mentor HDP health professional students in research. This ambitious program harnesses existing financial, administrative and curricular resources at UCSF.
